"Trump Seeks Immunity in Classified Documents Case, Experts React"

Donald Trump is seeking to dismiss the criminal case against him for hoarding classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate, arguing that the charges are legally faulty, politically motivated, and that the special counsel had no authority to bring the case. Trump's lawyers filed seven motions, including claims of immunity from prosecution as a former president and the right to label the documents as "personal." The judge, whom Trump nominated, is set to hold a hearing next week to determine the trial schedule, with several arguments remaining sealed. The filings highlight the tension among Trump's various legal cases and the dispute over the inclusion of sensitive information in public filings.
